Where can I find hog ring pliers?

So I bought a reupholstry kit for my seats, but haven't been able to do the seats yet because I haven't been able to find any hog ring pliers. Does anyone know where I can find them locally? I've seen some on Ebay and at online stores, but I would prefer to buy them from somewhere around here. I looked at PepBoys and Advance and didn't see any. Should I check at like the Co-Op or something?

Check a local upholstry shop. They will either sell them or know were to get them. I got a set at a store here that sells outdoor stuff, but they have an upholstry section as well. I think they were about $7 or so.

Hades: They are pliers used to attach the fabric to the seat. They use these rigs (hog rings) that you put through a part of the fabic. You then use the pliers to close the ring around parts of the seat frame.

If you had bought your upholstery kit though Racing Beat, they wouldve been included

I bought mine at Ace Hardware. You mught try TSC if you have them there. Any good fabric shop that sells upholstry should have them too.

Yeah, I hadn't realized Racing Beat sold them until like a week ago. I wish I would have gotten those instead because the color of the ones I got don't exactly match. I think there is a TSC around here somewhere, so I'll give them a try. Thanks.
